The Canada Scott/Unitrade #30a Large Queen with 11.5 x 12 perforations is quite scarce in any condition; in mint with original gum, it hardly ever comes up for auction. In 1996, such a stamp in mint hinged 30a Large Queen came to auction and realized $3,500. The auction description at the 1996 Maresch Capex Auction described the stamp realizing $3,500 as follows: "30a Bright Blueish Gray Perf 11.5 x 12 Firths printing order IX circa 1881-2 Exceedingly rare and the only mint copy I have ever handled".
